I'm trans, family is unsupportive, making me more suicidal. what do I do

sooo
I dunno
last November my mom found out I'm trans, and I was grounded up until a few weeks ago for it. she would tell me that she wanted to save me and that I would burn for this, and cut me off from my friends, threw out all my clothes and made me grow out my hair
I've almost been kicked out 3 times, I'm 15.
I've had mental health issues in the past, and was attending therapy, but my parents refuse to let me seem out help now due to me looking abnormal, and they refuse to acknowledge any prior diagnosis
I've been having more and more anxiety attacks, and wow
this is a tangent question WOOT
but basically my ex forced me into sexual things and my mom's response when she found out was "I'm sorry but imagine how disgusted with you he must of been"
I don't know what to do. I've started burying myself in art music and my grades, taking a college level course and the highest level things I can take in hopes to make them proud of me, tried to kill myself,  starved myself, succumbed to disphoria, and all because they can't recognize me as their son. cyrus


what do I do

I am really sorry for what you're going through.

As a parent, it is sometimes hard for us to accept when our children take a different path than we had envisioned, for whatever reason.  This doesn't excuse your parents' behavior toward you, at all.  You don't deserve punishment and berating words for being who you are, and I'm very sad that they think doing so will make you change who you are.

Do you have ANY support system at all? Another relative, friends, a trusted counselor at school?

You really need others around you who support you.  What country do you live in?

Oh, and I surely hope you don't consider suicide as an option.  It is extremely hard to be a dependent teen in this situation, but I promise you that things WILL get better, and that you will eventually have the freedom to make your own decisions and make your life exactly what you want it to be.  Don't let this short-term problem ruin the rest of your future.
